Project 52: Breakfast

The "experts" who decided that kids shouldn't watch TV before the age of two were obviously never pregnant with a child under two. Or else, they were those people who think pregnancy is this beautiful, natural, thing because they didn't have a single pregnancy symptom. Let me assure you that it is the most definitely supernatural and I dare you to look up the symptoms and come back and tell me it's not an illness! Anyway, back to the TV issue. Here is what breakfast looks like these days:


Yep, eating in front of the TV. Mornings are sometimes rough for me and putting him in front of the TV is the only way to insure that he's going to eat long enough for me to eat. I'm sure letting kids eat in front of the TV is linked to obesity, but in our case it's linked to getting the kid to gain enough weight that he's in at least the 5th percentile! We've got a lanky one!

I'm nearing the end of the first trimester, but honestly I'm trying not to get my hopes up. I was MUCH sicker with the last pregnancy and it didn't disappear with the first trimester like all the books promised. It did let up quite a bit around that time, however. I just try to remember everyday that this is so much better than last time and when I have a rough day I listen to Christmas music!

We're also really looking forward to some R&R in the states. I get exhausted if I stand for long periods of time and there are lots of days when I just can't even think about fixing dinner, so Carson has had his hands full taking care of us! We are both TIRED and ready for fast food and babysitters!

I think ANYTHING that will get that kiddo to eat (and therefore Mommy to eat) is just fine and dandy. And, I can't wait to babysit! (He does have a most mischievous grin on his face, doesn't he? Ha ha!)

I'm with Joanna! And I can't wait to give you and Daddy a break! He's my sweetheart!

I'll certainly take a babysitting day/night during your furlough to the states. Uncle Tommy and I are professionals, you know! :)

I was so sick when I was pregnant with my 3rd. I had an 20 month old and a 3 year old. They watched more tv that 3 months I was sick than any other time in their life. I hated to do it, but it was so nauseating to even move. They are now 11 and 9 and aren't obese and hardly watch any tv, so they turned out alright!
